Video Enhancement
Without Permanent Cloud Storage
Worried about your video sitting on someone else's servers? BetterVideo processes your footage in single-use, isolated environments that are destroyed immediately after. Your source video is never stored on our servers.
Processed. Enhanced. Destroyed. Your footage leaves no trace.
The Problem with Cloud-Based AI Tools
Most AI video enhancement tools upload your footage to cloud servers where:
- Files are stored for days or weeks — "processing" doesn't mean immediate deletion
- Backups create copies — even deleted files may exist in backup systems
- Training pipelines may access footage — your video could improve their AI
- Data breaches expose content — cloud servers are targets for hackers
For family videos, security footage, legal evidence, or any private content, this is unacceptable risk.
How BetterVideo Is Different
Our architecture was designed for privacy from the start:
Single-Use Environments
Each video is processed in an isolated GPU container that's created for your job and destroyed immediately after.
No Source File Storage
Your original video is streamed into processing and never written to persistent storage on our systems.
Result in Your Control
The enhanced result is stored in your private location, accessible only to you via signed URLs.
User-Controlled Deletion
Delete your result immediately after download. Or let auto-delete remove it within 30 days.
What About the Enhanced Result?
Your enhanced video is stored temporarily so you can download it. Here's how we handle it:
- Private storage: Only accessible via short-lived, signed URLs that expire
- Your control: Delete on demand the moment you've downloaded
- Auto-delete: Everything auto-deletes within 30 days, no exceptions
- Not used for training: Results are never analyzed or used to train AI
Comparison: BetterVideo vs Desktop Software
The most private option is desktop software that runs entirely on your computer. Here's how we compare:
| Factor | BetterVideo | Desktop Software (e.g. Topaz) |
|---|---|---|
| Privacy | Single-use cloud, never stored | Fully local (if configured correctly) |
| Cost | $0.90/minute, no upfront | $299/year + powerful GPU |
| Speed | 60 seconds (cloud GPU) | Minutes-hours (your GPU) |
| Ease of Use | Browser-based, no install | Download, install, configure |
| Hardware Required | Any device | High-end GPU ($500+) |
If you have an expensive GPU and want maximum privacy, desktop software is the most private option. If you want convenience, speed, and don't want to invest in hardware, BetterVideo offers near-desktop privacy with cloud convenience.

In private cloud storage accessible only to you via signed URLs. You can delete it immediately after download, or it auto-deletes within 30 days.
Properly configured desktop software that's fully local is the most private option. However, some desktop tools have been caught uploading data. BetterVideo offers strong privacy without requiring expensive hardware.
Our architecture makes storage technically impossible — processing environments are destroyed after each job. Results are in standard cloud storage with auto-delete policies. We have no mechanism to retain your source files.
